A TEXAS TRIAL.
Three Negro Fiends Taken From
Jail and Speedily Strang-
led.

San Antonio, Tex, Feb 3.-The follow
ing particulars have been received OF a
triple lynching from Seguin, thirty miles
east of San Antonio. At 10 o'clock yester-
day morning party of thirty-fve masked
men rode up to the jail, and under the
plea of having q prisoner, were let into
the ante-room, where they oVerpowered the
| taller and took his keys. After unlocking
the Jail door, they took three colored men,
Coly Thompson, Andy Williams and War
rem Wilson, and, leaving ten men to guard
the taller, the others rode away on the
Gonzales road. 1t was not known whether
il was a rescuing party or q mob. This
point was decided when the three bodies
were found this morning about t-o miles
east of town,
STRUNG UP TO BLACKBERRY LIMB.
1t is supposed the mob consisted of white
and colored men. A plscard was pinned
to each victim, stating that he was hung
for murder, rape and house-burning. The
men who were hung have been in Jail
about three weeks, having been arrested
on q charge of the Wholesale murder of
Mexican campers on the San Marcus
river. The history of the crime presents
the most diabOlical murder ever perpetrat-
ed in Guadalupe county. A few nights pre-
vious to the murder of the Mexican cam
pers, Dick Williams, 8 brother of Andy
Williams, robbed Mexican of money and
sundry articles amounting TO SIS or $40.
He was pursued by the Mexicans who re-
covered part of the booty and filed
complaint of robbery against Dick. In
order to do away with the testimony and
stay proceedings in the case, Andy Will
liams induced Warren Wilson to xii the
whole crowd of Mexicans. In carrying
out the plan they went to the wrong camp
and
SHOT FOUR AEXICANs
around their camp fires. Two were killed
outright and two riddled with bullets and
left for dead The iends cut one of the
dead men in pieces, completely disembow-
cling him, and set fire 10 his remains,
which we're terribly charred. Two of the
Mexicans recovered, and would have APP
pesred at the trial to identify the assas-
sins.
These facts were taken from state
ments made by Thompson and Wilson
after their arrest Williams stoutly de-
MED any knowledge of the affair There
were charges also of rape against Thomp-
son and Williams Dick Williams, the
was left in Jail by the mob. The jailers
say that the leaders had stimulated freely,
and were reckless in handling their guns.
Sheriff McGuffin wss in San Antonio on Off
cisl business, and knew nothing of the
disposition made of his prisoners until he
arrived on this mornings tram.

A OueOr Decision.

Kansas City, Feb. 3-A track repairer
named Parker, on the Hannibal and st.
Joe railroad, was killed last summer by a
freight train which was racing with Wa
bash train on parallel tracks. The wife
of the deceased sued for damages in the
circuit court here. The defense to-day
raised the point that though the plaintiff 8
death proved to be case of negligence,
vet the defendant was not liable for injury
to the deceased caused by the neglect of q
co-employee. Judge Gill sustained the de-
murer apd non-suited the plaintiff. The
case will be appealed.

states that in the battles between the Alb

all the guns possessed by the Italians, also
that out of $50 Italians engaged in the
fight not more than so escaped The dis
patch also states that the Italians vacated
all their advanced positions and that the
Absynians had already attacked and car

doubtful whether the Italians will be able
to hold out at Massawah until the arrival

The Salt Lake Tribune says we do
not credit the Beck-Newlands episode
telegraphed from Washington. We do
not believe that Senator Beck's fondness
for Senator Hearst is sufficient to canse
him, thorough gentleman that he is, to
coarsely insult another gentleman on be-
ing introduced to him. Senator Beck is
a plain. clear-spoken man. but is a gentle
man as well, and we do not think that
he has sufficient interest in California
politics to wantonly hurt the feelings of
q stranger.

Twenty millions of dollars in a village
does not make that village rich if it is
all owned by two men, but if that
amount is spread evenly all over the
village then it is different. Money in
the hands of n or two men is like a
dungheap in a ~barnyard. So long as it
lies in a mass it does no good, but if it
is only spread evenly on the land how
everything would grow. Money is like
snow. If it is blown into drifts it
blocks up the highway and nobody can
travel, but if il lies evenly distributed
over all the ground it facilitates every
mans travel. Wealth is good if ditfused,
but not if boarded .-Henry Ward
Beecher.

THAT SUSPENSION.

To the Editor OF the New York Herald:
II the Interstate Commerce Commissioner
can suspend the long and short haul clause
for three months In favor of one set of car
riers before investigation. can they not do
the same thing in favor OF another set or
OF ali other corporations? II so, can they
not completely annul the operation OF
the section for the time being? Did Con-
gress give them this vast power2
SHIPPER.
To the first two questions we answer,
yes; to the second, nc. What the Com
m~issioners have done in the case of the
Southern railways they may do with
equal right in the case of any other rail-
ways. This policy might be carried to
such an extent as to amount to a general
annulment Of the fourth section Of the
law.
But we think that the Commissioner
exceeded their powers in ordering the
suspension in favor OF the Southern
roads. It was not the intention of Con-
gress that the long and short haul clause
should be suspended except in special
cases, and then only after investigation.
On this point the law is explicit and free
from doubt. The suspension just ordered
by the commission is more general than
special, and it was ordered before in.
stead Of after an investigation.
If the question were put to a Judicial
test we believe that the suspension would
be held unauthorized and unwarranted,
and consequently that the rates OF the
Southern roads under consideration are
now unlawful in spite of the action OF
the commission.

The good wives Of West Fairview, Pa,
o town in which a majority verdict has
pronounced against the liquor traffic,
find that for domestic reasons a licensed
hotel is a necessity in the place. Under
the present order of things the husbands
Of these estimable .natrons are continu-
ally going on long journeys to more con-
genial municipalities, SO that during the
time the town of West Fairview knows
them not. Prohibition has made West
Fairview a deserted village, or rather a
village Of deserted wives. and it is to be
hoped that the prayer of its womanfolk
for a licensed hotel will be granted.
Hitherto we have been in the habit Of
speaking of the white-winged harbinger
of peace. Now, We have a new metaphor
the licensed hotel of harmony and
prosperity.

DAILY HERALD,
TRACKLAYING
I'm the First Eight Months of the
Year.


Year.
The expectation that the year 1887
would be signalized as a period re-
markable for railway extension which
was SO plainly warranted by previous
reports in these columns OF construc-
tion projected, in progress and COM
pleted, is still further justified by the
returns which we have collected for
the eight months ending August 81.
Up to the lst OF July our records
showed 1854 miles of new track laid
in the previous six months. In the
last two months these figures
have been increased more than
200 miles, the aggregate mileage
of new main track now reported for
the eight months from January to
September being no less than 6,462
miles, which has been laid in 40 of AZ
states and territories, on 219 different
main lines or branches. The total
mileage added during the year 1886,
if the figures of Poor's new manual
may be accepted, was 5000 miles.
1iitt tiic dSSrcSdlc lOl 1901 Will SiOte
ly exceed these very large figures is
indicated by the fact that up to Sep
tember l, 1886, our records showed for
the previous eight months of that year
a total of only 3,475 miles of new line,
or less than half the mileage laid
in the entire year. The present
year has been exceedingly favor
able for railway construction, and
work has been pushed forward by the
great competing roads with extraor-
dinary energy, so that the proportion
of the total for the year already fin
ished is doubtless somewhat greater
than that indicated for the previous
year, at the corresponding date. But
that the mileage of new track COM
pleted during the year 1887 will very
considerably exceed our previous in
side estimate of 10000 miles is now
beyond a doubt. The following table
summarizes the tracklaying for the
first eight months of the year of which
we now have detailed record.
